New York Islanders Tickets Information

The New York Islanders were one of the more successful franchises in the NHL when they arrived on the scene in 1972. After missing the playoffs in their first two seasons, the Islanders went on a streak of making the postseason for 14 straight years. Their dominance continued as they won all six of their division titles during this stretch. This was also highlighted by their six conference championships. The success by the Islanders during this run was capped off with their four straight Stanley Cup titles. From the start of the 1979-1980 season to the end of the 1982-1983 season, the Islanders hoisted the Stanley Cup every year. It is not a coincidence that many franchise regular season individual records such as most goals, assists, and points occurred during the highlight of this organization.

2015 Islanders Season Preview

The New York Islanders playoff berth in 2012-13 was a breath of life back into the team. The anticipation coming into the 2013 season was incredibly high, but sadly those hopes were dashed with a midseason injury to Captain John Tavares. New York ended up finishing near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, closing out the year with a 34-37 record and 14 points outside the East’s final playoff spot.

With Tavares back and healthy, the Islanders are once again hopeful for another trip the NHL playoffs. Added in the offseason was goaltender Jaroslav Halak, who looks to sure up what was a shaky position for the team last season. Tavares will team up with Kyle Okposo who is coming off one of the best years of his career where he scored 69 points, which was tops for the Islanders for last season. Look for the New York Islanders to be very competitive in the Metropolitan Division, and for them to be in the thick of the NHL playoff race late in the season.

New York Islanders Rivals

The Battle of New York rages on as these two teams continue to leave it all on the ice every season. Rangers enjoy making the trip to Nassau Coliseum when the two play, as do the Islanders fans to Madison Square Garden. The all-time series is very close in both the regular season and playoffs, and both teams would love nothing more than to win all six games against the other every season.

Islanders vs. Flyers

This rivalry was the strongest in the 70s and 80s when the Flyers and Islanders were at the top of their game and the top of the Patrick Division as well. One of the teams was division champions every year from 1974 to 1989, with the Flyers having the Islanders number in the playoffs – outside of a glorious 1980 Stanley Cup Finals win for New York.

There are 9 large parking options surrounding Nassau Coliseum. 6 of the 9 parking lots are located to the south of the arena and we recommend looking in that area first. Parking lot 8, located on the north side of Hempstead Turnpike, is the General Parking area and usually costs around $7. The other 8 parking lots are classified as “Preferred,” or “VIP” Parking and usually cost around $20-$30. There are two train stations in the area the Westbury Station, and the Hempstead Station. Both have quite a walk to the arena, but Taxi’s are always ready to take you the last little distance from the train to the coliseum. There are also a few bus options from the Hempstead station to the arena, but make sure to verify the times they are running before you leave.

Does my child need a ticket to go to an Islanders game?

Children under 2 years old do not need a ticket to enter Nassau Coliseum. It is best practice to bring proof of your child’s age with you to the gate to ensure they are allowed to enter the arena.
